My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

I am a J6er.

Entrapment happened when the doors were opened, and we were let in and given tours while feds in the crowd led the way. Watch video at the 12 sec mark. A black dude is walking against the flow of traffic, saying, "Welcome home, brave men." He was a friend of Ray Epps.

Murder was committed when Michael Byrd shot an unarmed protester, and Lila Morris beat another one to death.

Incitement occurred when the peaceful crowd was fired upon with flashbangs and rubber bullets to the face.

A miscarriage of justice took place when Americans were charged with assault against law enforcement for stopping cops' punches with their face.

Selective prosecution happened when prison sentences were handed down for the same charges $50 tickets were given in the past and afterward.

It was the only Trump rally with no counter protest because ANTIFA disguised themselves as MAGA supporters and initiated the breach.

The double standard and hypocrisy of partisan law occurred when BLM rioters caused over a billion in damages, killed 22, including a cop, and in the end, 95% of the cases were dropped and many got paid.

The cover-up was the sham J6 committee doctoring evidence, then deleting it all.

The Fedsurrection combined all of these and used the riot to stop the reading of election fraud at the Joint Session of Congress.

The Big Lie was and is that it was a free and fair election.

God Bless the J6ers.

Marx lived his entire adult life as a dependent. The capitalist system funded his "research" through Engels, whose family wealth came from textile factories. The irony cuts deep: capitalism's profits subsidized its most famous critic.

Marx never held a real job. Never met payroll. Never risked capital or faced bankruptcy. He spent decades theorizing about labor value while avoiding actual labor. His insights into production came from library books, not factory floors.

The parasitic intellectual tradition he spawned continues today. Academic Marxists collect taxpayer-funded salaries while denouncing the market system that creates the wealth they consume.

It's time to get rid of these people.

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.

Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.

Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.

It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.

Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.

That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.

Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.

The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.

The three constitutional amendments on the ballot this November have nasty stuff baked into them.

Gay marriage amendment - adds gender as a protected class to the constitution. As applied in other states - this is when the state can take your child from you if you don’t affirm their transgender identity.

Felon right to vote - adds a provision that allows someone who has been declared legally incompetent the right to still vote.

Abortion amendment - restricts the state from imposing any meaningful laws on abortion authorizing abortion up to birth for mental health reasons.

It is absolutely disgusting that the Virginia state central committee is taking a neutral position on these amendments. I often wonder where do I fit in with politics and at times like this it feels like I definitely do not have a political home. Taking a neutral position on these three positions and abstaining from engaging is not a party that I can be a part of. As such - until this is immediately reversed and the Republican Party of Virginia grows a spine - consider me a free agent. A constitutional conservative desperate for a party that gives a sh$t.

Anyway, I'll be in New York court in August facing Islamic regime’s hitman #5. Solidarity, right? Or it’s nut fun!

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

One of the greatest cultural crimes in Greek history happened in Sparta. In the 1730s, the French scholar Michel Fourmont was sent by the French crown to Greece. His mission was to copy ancient inscriptions and document classical antiquities. What he left behind in Sparta was one of the most shameful acts in the history of archaeology and a crime against the Greek culture and history.

Fourmont fabricated more than 1,200 inscriptions, many of them obvious forgeries that mixed impossible names, anachronistic formulas, and linguistic errors. To create the appearance of authenticity, he ordered the destruction of ancient Spartan structures and artifacts.

Marble blocks covered with authentic inscriptions were deliberately shattered. Priceless originals were smashed so that his fakes could take their place in scholarly collections.

Sparta, already reduced to ruins after centuries of neglect, still retained rare physical traces of its legendary past. Entire categories of authentic Spartan texts, possibly unique in the Greek world, vanished forever.

For decades, his fabricated inscriptions were cited as serious evidence. Scholars built theories on lies. It took until the 20th century, particularly through the rigorous work of epigraphists like Louis Robert, for the full scale of the fraud to be exposed. By then the damage was irreversible.

Today, Michel Fourmont is remembered as a man who came to study Sparta, my homeland, and instead silenced it. His actions represent one of the greatest cultural crimes in Greek history. The deliberate erasure of a civilization’s material memory, dressed up as scholarship.

In a letter to Count Maurepas, Fourmont boasts that he destroyed the inscriptions so that they would not be copied by a future traveler:

"For over 30 days now - 30, 40, even 60 workers - have been dismantling, destroying, erasing the city of Sparta. I have only 4 single towers left to demolish… For the moment, I am occupied with the destruction of Sparta’s last antiquities. You understand what joy I feel. But Mantinea, Stymphalia, Tegea, and especially Nemea and Olympia deserve to be thoroughly uprooted. I’ve made many expeditions in search of the ancient cities of this land, and I’ve destroyed several. Among them Troezen, Hermione, Tiryns, half the acropolis of Argos, Phliasia, Pheneos… I have entered Mani. For six weeks now, I’ve been occupied with the total destruction of Sparta. By tearing down its walls, its temples, leaving not a stone upon a stone, I will make even its location unknown in the future, so that I can be the one to make it known again. That way, I will glorify my journey. Is that not something? Sparta is the fifth city I have destroyed. I am now occupied with the destruction of the deepest foundations of the temple of Amyklaean Apollo. I would have destroyed other ancient sites just as easily, if only I had been allowed to. I completely demolished the tower. Of the travelers who came before me, I don't recall a single one daring to demolish towers and other large buildings!"

According to the information he himself provides, in Sparta alone he paid for 1.200 daily wages to demolish the monuments and buildings that still survived.

Fourmont was then planning to move on to Olympia, a visit he had actually scheduled. But fortunately, he was recalled to France and left Greece.

The barbarity and the damage caused by the Frenchman were irreparable.

As a Greek from Laconia, I wish that this inhumane barbarian, may never rest in peace.

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

I will explain to you what is the "Homeric Law", why they hate Homer and why they want you weak and spiritually dead. In the Battle of Marathon, all the Greek heroes who became role models for us, took part. Miltiades, Themistocles, Aristides, Aeschylus with his brother Cynegirus. But besides them, a dog also helped in the fight. According to Claudius Aelian (On the Characteristics of Animals, VII, 38), a Greek brought his dog to the camp, and the dog attacked the Persians alongside its master. This scene is also depicted in the wall painting of the Stoa Poikile (Painted Stoa) from the 5th century BC.

The bronze helmet of Miltiades, which the Athenian general wore during the battle, was dedicated by him himself to the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia as a thank-offering to the god for the victory. The helmet was discovered and is today on display at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia.

Themistocles, that great Greek, after the Battle of Marathon could not sleep and wandered sleepless through Athens. He used to say: "Οὐκ ἐᾷ με καθεύδειν τὸ τοῦ Μιλτιάδου τρόπαιον", which means, "The trophy of Miltiades does not let me sleep." He wanted to surpass Miltiades so much that he couldn't sleep. Can you imagine that? When the Persian king Artaxerxes asked for his help to attack the Greeks, Themistocles drank poison and committed suicide so as not to betray his country, Greece.

When Aeschylus died, he asked his relatives and close friends to inscribe an epitaph that reflected what he stood for in life and the values he held dear. Our first thought would be that Aeschylus would have wanted them to write that he was a great tragic poet with many awards and an outstanding body of work. Yet the epitaph makes no mention at all of his tragedies or his theatrical achievements, the very things for which all humanity remembers him today. Aeschylus wanted something written that showed what truly mattered to him. The epitaph therefore reads:

"This tomb in wheat-bearing Gela hides Aeschylus dead, son of Euphorion, the Athenian; of his worthy courage the grove of Marathon can tell, and the long-haired Mede who knows it well."
- (Source: Ἀθήναιος 14, 6)

The only thing that mattered to Aeschylus was Greece.

During the communal meals (syssitia) in Sparta, three choruses were formed according to the three age groups.

1. The chorus of the old men would begin singing:
"We once were strong young men."
(Ἄμμες πόκ' ἦμες ἄλκιμοι νεανίαι)

2. The chorus of the men in their prime would reply:
"We are the ones now; if you want, behold us"
(Ἄμμες δέ γ' εἰμέν· αἰ δὲ λῇς, αὐγάσδεο)

3. And the third chorus, that of the young boys, would say: "We shall become much better."
(Ἄμμες δέ γ' ἐσσόμεσθα πολλῷ κάρρονες)

These Greeks were great because they lived according to the most fundamental "Homeric Law", one that some people today want you not to know.

"Always strive for excellence and to surpass the others, and do not bring shame upon the race of your ancestors." (Homer, Iliad Z 208–209)

With these words, Hippolochus advised his son Glaucus when he sent him to fight in Troy. Earlier in the same book we read:

"Why do you ask of my lineage, fearless son of Tydeus? The generations of mortals are like the leaves of the trees: some the wind scatters upon the ground, and others the forest brings forth again when spring renews the trees. Thus one generation of men springs up, and another passes away." (Homer, Iliad Z 145–149)

We Greeks, we still use that Homeric phrase.
We say "Aien aristeuein," which means "Always to excel."

These words from Homer shaped generations of heroes and glorious men. This phrase lived in our collective memory, at least until today, and we fought to become better than our ancestors and worthy of our heroes. We had role models; we admired our grandfathers. The archetype of the heroic ancestor was born, and the lifelong purpose was always to surpass him through great deeds in one’s own life.

Until the dark days of today arrived, days baptized as "progress," in which every day we slide from bad to worse. You read my posts, you see what they are trying to do with the Classics. They hate Homer, they hate Plato and Aristotle, Alexander, Leonidas, they hate Achilles, they hate the Greek tragedies. They won't admit it, but you can see it when they are "manipulating the translations" to fit their agendas. Some want to create a degenerate world, sunk in atheism, anarchy, and spiritual collapse, far removed from values, virtues, and morality. They call this "progress," yet it is nothing but total subjugation, heads bowed, without any desire to resist.

To live without the imperative "aien aristeuein" (Always to excel), is to accept the slow death of the human spirit. When excellence is no longer the measure, when the only sacred thing left is the right to mediocrity and the comfort of never being judged by the shadow of greater men, then man ceases to be a bridge toward something higher and becomes merely a consumer of fleeting pleasures in a rootless present.

A civilization that teaches its young to surpass their ancestors in virtue, courage, wisdom, and beauty ascends.

One that teaches them to despise or ignore their ancestors has already begun its long descent into oblivion.

"Aien aristeuein"

And yes, my name is Homer, I'm Greek.

Homer Pavlos.

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

Emily Wilson is a kind of a feminist that is truly a bad person that wants to hurt you. Not directly, but in depth, through her profession as a classicist. She is attacking my culture and the Greeks because she hates virtues. She is blatantly lying because most of you don't know to read Greek. But I am Greek and I can read both modern and ancient Greek. So let me tell you why she is purposely lying.

The references with insulting epithets toward the servant/slave women who betrayed Odysseus’s house and slept with the suitors are numerous. The most common ones, however, are "bitches" and "shameless" that were serious insults. Most foreigners translated the word "bitch" as "slut" which is correct to say that this is wrong because it's not what the text writes but in a sense of "non-literal translation" it's not out of context because those women who slept with the suitors and betrayed Penelope were "shameless bitches". Especially the word "shameless" is a strong insult in Greek. It implies sexual shamelessness lack of decency, and moral boldness and this is why foreign translators are using the word "sluts" in English. But Homer doesn't use the Greek word directly to call them "whores".

The following translations I will use are made directly from the ancient Greek text into modern Greek. We Greeks do not read foreign translations. What we call an adaptation (απόδοση) from ancient to modern Greek is not considered a "translation" for us, since it is the same language. In other words an adaptation of a Greek text bridges the gap between ancient or dialectic Greek and the modern target audience.

1. Odysseus to a servant woman (Book 18, line 340):

"Bitch, if I go and immediately repeat your wretched words to Telemachus, he will tear you to pieces, you’ll be smashed into bits."
[ἦ τάχα Τηλεμάχῳ ἐρέω, κύον (=Bitch), οἷ᾽ ἀγορεύεις,
κεῖσ᾽ ἐλθών, ἵνα σ᾽ αὖθι διὰ μελεϊστὶ τάμῃσιν]

2. Penelope to Melantho (the servant who slept with Eurymachus and betrayed them), when Melantho spoke rudely to Odysseus (who was still disguised) (Book 19, line 91):

"Nevertheless, you bold, shameless bitch, you do not escape my notice at all, doing a great deed which you will wipe off on your own head."
[πάντως, θαρσαλέη, κύον ἀδεές (=fearless bitch), οὔ τί με λήθεις ἔρδουσα μέγα ἔργον, ὃ σῇ κεφαλῇ ἀναμάξεις]

3. "Perhaps in foreign lands too, some servant women insult him, every time he enters a famous lord’s house, just like these bitches here who all together insult you, stranger. I imagine that to avoid their reproach, their shamelessness…" (Book 19, around line 370)

4. "Servant women shamelessly dragging themselves here and there." (Book 20, line 318)

5. "Twelve of them appeared completely shameless, who had no regard for me and showed no respect to Penelope." (Book 22, line 422)

Emily Wilson cannot tolerate any criticism of the women who betrayed the man Odysseus and slept like shameless bitches with the enemy, betraying Penelope.

In her worldview, men are always the bad guys, and only women are the heroines. She herself calls the academic translators misogynists. It is inconceivable that there are today "eunuch" academics who defend this malicious and worthless woman.

This woman is in Classical Studies in order to destroy them, so that you, who will read her books, will form a false image of the epics that built Western civilization.

How Odysseus is not a hero, Achilles is not a hero, men are not great and brave but evil, and how the patriarchy must be fought so that women can win. They are trying to convince you that there is no heroism in Homer. Yet the epics were written precisely for this reason: so that you understand what it means to be a hero, what sacrifices are required, what difficulties you will face, and how you will achieve eternal fame. How you will conquer your passions, how anger destroys you, and how moral virtues lead you toward godlike status.

She hates all of this. She wants you spiritually dead. She hates you.

Therefore, it is completely justified for you to hate them too.

[Uzay Bulut @bulutuzay_]

I’ve been seeing some public debates regarding the subject of what some call “crypto Greeks” in Turkey.

“Crypto” means hidden or secret. This term doesn’t define the vast majority of people in Turkey who have Greek ancestry or DNA.

The correct term should be “Islamized Greeks” as the vast majority of us in Turkey, whose Greek ancestors were forcibly Islamized, have no knowledge of our true history. So, these people are not “crypto Greeks” - they are descendants of forcibly Islamized Greeks. Using the correct term matters.

Also, please avoid talking about us and the predicament we are in after treating us with utter disrespect.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
